This recent Mickey Mouse cartoon finds Mickey Mouse at the World Cup in a seat with no view. The premise of Mickey trying to get a good seat after a huge guy with giant hair sits in front of him was one of the weaker premises of some of the recent cartoons, but this episode was an obvious choice with the World Cup sweeping the world at the moment. I thought it was a missed opportunity to do a nice throwback to he Soccer match from Bednobs and Broomsticks as well which would have been interesting to see. Still there were a couple of fun moments such as when Mickey ends up down on the field---but when Disney has done so many classic sports cartoons featuring Goofy this one didn't really come close.

This cartoon as well as the others in the series can be seen on the Disney channel or at Disney Video online,
